UK to Redefine "Anti-Semetism"

>The government plans to adopt an international definition of anti-Semitism to help tackle hatred towards Jews.
>Police, councils, universities and public bodies can adopt the wording, Theresa May will say in a speech later.
>The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), which the UK belongs to, created the definition.
>It calls anti-Semitism a "perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews."
>Prime Minister Theresa May will argue that a clear definition means anyone guilty of anti-Semitism in "essence, language or behaviour" will be "called out on it".
>The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance hopes its definition, agreed this year, will be adopted globally.
It defines anti-Semitism as "a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews."
>It adds: ''' "Rhetorical and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities." '''
> group said having a "legally binding working definition" would give countries the "political tools" to deal with anti-Jewish hate crime.
